Miguel González

Product Desing Engineer

Barcelona, Spain
I’m a Product Design Engineer with a multidisciplinary background in both engineering and design fields. I’m accustomed to working across all stages of product design and development, from initial conceptualization to final production.

Through my studies and professional experience, I’ve found a way to merge my interests with a meaningful way to express myself. This allows me to design products combining creativity and rationality. I’m curious about people’s needs, how things work, and how we can get the most out of each other. I enjoy exploring how design can appeal to a variety of our senses in addition to solving a need in the simplest possible way.

I’m always enthusiastic for learning more and continuing my training as a designer and engineer. I’m a lifelong learner.
